Minty is tool for professional art buyers and artists to collaborate together in order to deliver great visual content.\u00a0 Client \/ art buyer can either get ready-made imagery, or request artist to create custom made illustrations.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”I\u2019m illustrator, how can I benefit from Minty?” tab_id=”1164b197-6b04-10″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Main reason Minty exists is for artists to be able to make the living from art. Not only to provide a tool for easier collaboration with clients, but also providing an option to monetise\u00a0images after original clients don\u2019t need them anymore. On the stock, artists\u00a0can resell licenses to old images after their exclusive licences\u00a0hasn’t been renewed by the original art buyer. All such\u00a0images\u00a0can be uploaded\u00a0to stock and\u00a0can create passive income for illustrator.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Who would buy old artwork?” tab_id=”57cca4fa-b09b-10″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n You would be surprised. Because client doesn\u2019t need to pay your time working on artwork, it\u2019s cheaper. You can imagine, a student working on a new project, needed some illustration for his\/her website, you can imagine huge publishing house using those artworks for their digital feed, or farmer using your artwork for his flyers offering discount on carrots.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Do Minty sell products with illustrations on them?” tab_id=”90e91610-2587-7″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Unlike Society6 or Etsy, on our stock we don\u2019t sell products or posters with artworks on it. We only sell licences to digital files containing the artwork. Yes, it\u2019s like photo stock but high quality illustrations only. Plus you have the option to connect directly with the illustrator in case you\u00a0need to customise existing artwork, or create a brand new one.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Can I use Minty collaboration tool for free to work with my friend on non-profit brief?” tab_id=”a8396b52-9ce3-9″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Yes. And that\u2019s perfect example, because you can work on non-profit project without pay, but you are not giving up the licence for the artwork. You create artwork free, but if client\u00a0needs to use it exclusively, they can buy exclusivity rights later and if they won\u2019t do, you can monetise your artwork through stock while letting non-profit organisation use it for their purpose – it just won’t be exclusive for them to use.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Are my images protected?” tab_id=”ce31919a-1864-4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Every image is automatically protected by watermark. We are also able to protect by watermark animated gifs. In case there are any glitches on watermarked preview, do not worry, original file shouldn’t contain glitches. If it does, get back to us and we will return your payment.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”How do I put my artworks to be for sale?” tab_id=”6495644b-d494-5″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Follow this guide when preparing your images to upload<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0Once you upload your artworks, go to edit section, name and tag your images. Once everything ready from you, click the button \u201cOffer this artwork on market\u201d. After our curators check whether everything ok, they approve artwork to go to stock. This may take couple of days. If you are waiting too long, check, if your artworks are meeting all requirements from\u00a0the guide<\/span>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”How to name and tag my artwork?” tab_id=”4cfc139f-d42c-2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Once you upload your art work, go to edit section and name and tag your images. Describe what you see in your\u00a0image by answering following questions: Who, what, when, why?<\/span><\/p>\n Example: Two tall girls playing tennis having fun after sunset.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”What size of artworks should I upload if I want to sell?” tab_id=”c864ada7-3771-5″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n High resolution jpgs at least 5000 pixel lengthways direction and should be saved with a resolution of 300 dpi in the mode of sRGB. File size must be smaller than 15MB. Software won\u2019t let you upload otherwise. If you are experiencing any troubles while uploading, please double check if you have all parameters right. Please do not upload big images if you are not willing to put them to stock. It’s not very budget effective for us.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Can I sell the same artwork on other stock sites?” tab_id=”87f7b2a8-fb79-7″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n No. By uploading an artwork to Minty site, you are granting Minty\u00a0an exclusivity to sell artwork\u2019s licence. The same artwork can\u2019t be sold or offered for free anywhere else on internet. Why is that? You don\u2019t want stock sites to be competing by price over your artwork, don\u2019t you?<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Can I sell bags or prints with my artworks, that I uploaded to Minty?” tab_id=”9162a5d8-a723-1″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Yes you can. But only you can do it. You can even use society6 or other service to do so. Anyone else, even buyers who bought the licence from Minty are not allowed to print your artwork on any object to sell it, unless they purchased special license to do so. Please be aware, no other service, or your own website can be offering the digital file containing the artwork for download.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”I want to join Minty as an illustrator.
